Portland, OR (November 27, 2012) - Red Giant today announced the release of PluralEyes® 3.1 for Mac OS X, a new upgrade to the industry's most trusted audio/video syncing software. With PluralEyes 3.1, Red Giant adds support for Avid Media Composer for Mac, MXF support for a more professional camera workflows, and a new time-saving workflow feature called "Do It For Me."
PluralEyes 3.1 automates audio/video synchronization in seconds, giving videographers and filmmakers edit-ready footage without clappers or timecode, and with blazing speed and accuracy. The new release of PluralEyes 3.1 now offers:
- Support for Avid Media Composer: PluralEyes 3.1 now imports and exports its synced timeline directly to Avid Media Composer on Mac, along with Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro;
- MXF Support: PluralEyes 3.1 supports more professional workflows, adding native MXF support for Media Composer and Premiere Pro;
- "Do It For Me" Workflow: A new set of features quickly imports and organizes your clips. You drag-and-drop the clips as 'Takes,' hit Sync, and PluralEyes figures out their relationship.
"PluralEyes joined the Red Giant product family this summer, and we are still feeling the excitement from our customers," said Drew Little, president and co-founder of Red Giant. "This software is an innovative solution that takes a very big issue for our customers - syncing audio and video - and automates it in seconds. That alone has a tremendous impact on the time and budget of every editor and producer. And now with PluralEyes 3.1, released just two months later, we're bringing this benefit to an even broader base of filmmakers and editors."
About PluralEyes 3: Revolutionizing the Audio Sync
PluralEyes revolutionized the post-production pipeline for audio and video syncing, allowing editors to finish their sync in seconds, rather than hours or days. Now, PluralEyes 3.1 is blazingly fast, getting the sync done up to 20x faster than PluralEyes 2. Other features include:
Sync features all in one place. Red Giant's integration of DualEyes features has created a standalone PluralEyes application, taking audio/video syncing out of the NLEs and into its own work environment.
New interface with visual feedback. A brand new interface offers more confidence with a timeline and visual feedback. Users can identify sync problems and monitor the sync in real time.
Bring quality control to the edit. New "test & tweak" features offer important quality control options like Two-Up View and Snap to Sync for finished footage that's ready for creative editing.
Pays for itself in minutes. PluralEyes pays for itself in saved time on the first project, and is backed by Red Giant's Red Pledge guarantee, giving support for all editing applications for one price.
